Sleeping Dogs Dev has a F2P "AAA" Title Set for 2015

United Front Games is set to make a new free-to-play title in partnership with Nexon America.

United Front Games, the studio behind the open-world hit game Sleeping Dogs in 2012, is also developing a new free-to-play game in a partnership with Nexon America, a company that specializes in bringing free-to-play titles like MapleStory.

According to a press release, "Nexon America will serve as the exclusive publisher for United Front Games’ upcoming free-to-play title expected in 2015." The game or terms of the partnership was not disclosed.

Two weeks ago, UK retailer ShopTo listed Sleeping Dogs HD for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It has since removed those listings.

“Nexon brings an unparalleled wealth of knowledge of the growing free-to-play market. We are thrilled to partner with a publisher who has an excellent track record of building direct and meaningful relationships with players,” United Front Games CEO Stephen van der Mescht said. “We can’t wait to unveil our new title with Nexon America – we’re confident it’s going to be a smash hit.”

“We are committed to bringing a new line-up of AAA-quality free-to-play games to the Western market, and our partnership with United Front Games is another step toward achieving this goal,” Nexon president and CEO Owen Mahoney said. “United Front Games’ team has a great track record of developing successful titles, and we’re looking forward to showing the world what our combined strengths can create in 2015.”
